In respect of Patti Boyd, She doesn't seem to have been present although she may have been. As for the guitar. It was certainly George's Rickenbacker 360/12 & was probably the original. George owned two. The first was the one presented to him in New York in Feb '64, the second he acquired some 18 months later. Having acquired the second he pretty much retired the first (although the first is the one he played on "Fish on the Sand" on the "Cloud 9" Album) I believe the first is the one which was on stage that night.

The purpose of life is to find out 'Who am I?', 'Why am I here?' and 'Where am I going?- George Harrison in 1992.

1. Was Patty Boyd at the show? She wasn't shown if she was. Was she invited to the concert?

Here's what Pattie writes in her book, Wonderful Tonight:

Quote

His funeral was in Los Angeles. I didn't go, but I was invited to the memorial concert, which took place a year later in the Royal Albert Hall, organized by Eric. I couldn't go: I had booked a spiritual holiday in Peru. Instead, I watched it on video. On the day, I took myself away from the rest of the group and spent the day high in the mountains, thinking of George, the tears trickling down my face. I was happy to mourn him in my own way.

All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007<br />
